Here is a noesis script to load the 3d models and the modified .tga textures.
to extract the models you need to run xbdecompress.exe (in the official xbox sdk will not be provided) on the podlzx files.
then to extract the podlzx files use this bms script. viewtopic.php?f=13&p=70398#p70398
then on the resulting pac files it spits out run this bms script.

Wow, thank you very much! The scripts for Noesis work great, though some DFM models in the HVS, MR, and Vehicles folder don't load and somtimes cause Noesis to crash. I'm not sure why this is, but I know I have the latest version of Noesis.

to get those models to load all you have to do is copy them out one directory
for instance
\cinematics_pod_bespin_cinematic_hangar_bespin\vehicles\podracers\anakin_pod_cine.dfm
the reason this fails to load is it cant find the material file so just copy the entire folder
\cinematics_pod_bespin_cinematic_hangar_bespin\vehicles\podracers\
to
\cinematics_pod_bespin_cinematic_hangar_bespin\vehicles\
and then they load fine.

here is a small script update so if the files are in the wrong path it wont crash it just won't load the external files.

I have some problem with xbdecompress.
I have to use like his?
xbdecompress file.podlzx out.podlzx

That's correct.

The weights aren't working correctly or it's just me?

i dint have any issues you would have to tell me the file.

I'm not at home atm so I can't check but I'll be there soon. I'll check it then.


EDIT: The ones I tested have the same problem, exported as .fbx/.psk

It's the togruta_female in the dance directory

Although your script update fixed the issue with files not finding the proper materials, there still seems to be an issue with a number of models that causes Noesis to crash for another reason I can't understand. Some of these models include:

R2D2.dfm
tie_fighter.dfm
droid_enforcer_big.dfm
gasgano_pod_rampage.dfm
mars_guo_pod_rampage.dfm
Delta_7b_Cinema.dfm
b2_droid.dfm

Is anyone else having this problem with these models?

Out of curiosity, do the TEX files in Art provide anything. I noticed that there seem to be model textures there. But the model packs themselves have those packaged tga's too.

I guess I'm a wee bit lost. But in which of the pk2s are the dancers? I seem to overall have very few of the DFM's


EDIT

Was probably a bug with BMS

Same weights problem here with slave Leia (not only in that part of model):

Thanks for your work!
